50,302 miles, original owner since September 2016. I sold it to a local Toyota dealer a few weeks ago.

Mine had a PTU leak at one point, which was covered under warranty, then the head gasket recall, which was also covered by Ford, but took the nearest local Ford dealer 31 days to accomplish. That same dealer also forgot to put the oil cap back on after an oil change and ended up buying me a replacement hood liner since the original was soaked with oil. That was the last time I had my car serviced there.

Later on, right before I decided I was going to sell the car, I discovered an oil leak while changing my oil, which was apparently due to incorrect reassembly by the dealer that accomplished the head gasket recall. Several bolts were missing on the timing cover and some bolt holes had their threads stripped out. A different dealer handled the repairs for that fiasco, which WASN'T covered by warranty or the first dealer, despite my best efforts. Ouch.
What a crappy story, and for them to not honor the work, very sad. Did you reach up into Ford?

My RS 2018 SE is now at 77000km and still is as good as the day it was delivered ! This fall I added new Spec D rear lights ordered through #RaptorRacing which look just fab on the car and today I fitted four new Michelin Pilot Alpin PA 4s . Best car ever !

My 2016 just past 75,000 and she is getting retired as a daily driver. I've mentioned before that I am just a magnet for any piece of debris on the road. Last week got another flat (two nails in the tire).

She will now get some needed rest and TLC back to tip top condition and used for some fun weekend drives, maybe an HPDE or autocross events.

Don't laugh but now I'm driving a 2006 Toyota RAV4 V6 AWD. Good news on insurance is that by putting the RS in the less than 1000 mile category and the Toyota in the 10K+ my insurance only went up $76.00.

Just shy of 9,400 miles for my 2016. It's been such a blast so far!
